I've always wanted to try this. Never had a spare USB to do it with.
@Nayan would be nice to jump start your laptop every now and then. -
Koolstr27858yI'm actually pretty curious what would happen if you try something like this. Anyone know? Or brace enough to be the one to test it out and likely lose their flash drive and/or charger?

nyjan10788y@Koolstr Nothing is going to happen. USB always supplies 5V (on dedicated VCC and GND rails), the stick doesn't care if the supplier is your PC or a phone charger. And since the charger doesn't have anything connected to the data lines (except for a resistor that tells your phone it's a charger and it's fine to draw more than the 500mA set as max current in the USB specification), it won't affect data either.
Those clients....
